The Arab ideological war: a conflict is brewing in the Washington, DC-based association of Arab journalists. On the one side are those who have agreed to sponsor a talk by Khayr Ad-Din Hasib (Director of the Center for Arab Unity Studies and editor-in-chief of Al-Mustaqbal Al-`Arabi journal) during his visit to the US, and on the other side are those pro-US journalists who disapprove of Hasib's positions.
